3D Reconstruction and Virtual Reality for Body Image Improvement in Bariatric Metabolic Surgery
3D Reconstruction and Virtual Reality proved effective in improving body image satisfaction and psychological outcomes for bariatric metabolic surgery patients. Participants reported a more accurate perception of their body changes and overall appearance, with positive feedback on group workshops and VR discussions. This method offers a feasible and acceptable approach to supporting patients in adjusting to post-surgery body changes, potentially enhancing intervention outcomes.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) provides moderate weight loss with a lower risk of complications compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), making it a viable option for patients, particularly those with existing gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass liner may significantly improve glycemic control and weight loss in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and obesity.
